At one point the deployment was close to 600,000....

Seventeen heavy and six light brigades of the U.S. Army and nine Marine regiments, with their large support and service forces; as well as the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Marine aviation.

they did have shitty equipment in 1991 and were worn out after fighting iran, but were a potent force. Saddam was encouraged indirectly by the mixed signals he got from the USA. We had to take him down but also had led him on and he thought, i guess that our indecision was a sign for him to move .

First off, you totally dodged my question, which was what would it have done to our country if Saddam had taken over Saudi Arabia. etc..etc...

Oh man...now you've changed the subject and gone back to 1991. We're going no where....was that an accident or did you lose twelve years of containment and sanctions.
